One
Lone voice
Will
Define
The only
World
I
Can
Live in
A
Cacophony
Vie
For my
Attention
"Shock jocks"
"CNN"
"Celebrities"
Sports "personalities"
"Entertainers"
The
Pinnacle
(or abyss)
Of
Their craft
Doesn't
Define
My
Destiny
Voices
Decrying
The "Patriarchy"
Clambouring
In line
At
The mall
For
The
Next word
From
The
"Best-selling"
Poet
Stratified
Dogma
Echoing
Through
Boardrooms
Passed
Into
Law
Genocide
Marked
By
Bank
"Holidays"
Financial
Political
Religious
Social
Hiearchy
Built
Upon
A foundation
Of
The
Bleached bones
And
Restless Spirits
Of
Indigenous populations
Slaughtered
Through
"Ethnic cleansing"
"First"
World
"Success"
A
Unconscious
Competition
To
Amass
The
Spoils
Of
"Third"
World
Slavery
Via
The
Twenty-first
Century's
Version
of
The
Black (Friday) plague
Playground
Bullies
"Elected"
To
"Public"
Office
A
Citizenry
Too
Fear-laden
To
Give up
Their guns
Why?
Obsessed
With
The need
For
Self-defence
Against
All
Those
Carrying guns
The
Voice
Of reason
Sanity
Seeping
Through
The din
Is
Seen
As dissension
"Conspiracy"
Whistleblowing
Villified
Gag-orders
&
Gurus
Voices
Ringing
Out
Walk
This way
To
The Promised Land
Somebody
Is
Lying
It's
Not for me
To say
Who
One
Lone voice
Will
Define
The only
World
I
Can
Live in
To
All
The
Rest
I
Turn
A
Deaf ear
